QUESTION: What does POSTNET stand for?

ANSWER: POSTNET stands for Postal Numeric Encoding Technique. POSTNET is the type of bar code that's used to encode ZIP code information on mail within the United States. POSTNET bar codes are used by the United States Postal Service (USPS) to assist in directing mail — the USPS automated-processing equipment reads the POSTNET bar code on a letter, postcard, mailer, etc. and automatically sends the mail to the proper location in the mail-processing facility.
